#octphotochallenge #gaminginthelitworld "The chief difficulty Alice found at first was in managing her flamingo. Alice soon came to the conclusion that it was a very difficult game indeed." @LibrarianRyan

Ripper | Isabel Allende
post image

I am behind in my posts, so you'll be seeing a lot from me today. 😍#gaminginthelitworld Ripper is the name of the online game Amanda and her pals play unearthing clues and solving murders. One in particular... #octphotochallenge Set in San Francisco's North Beach plus its Allende and, while not her best, I liked it anyway.

Karkar I see minions ❤️❤️❤️ 8y
ApoptyGina69 @Karkar true! They are everywhere around here-in house plants, next to computers, on drinking glasses, on notebooks... crazy little guys!! 8y

The Chessmen of Mars (Barsoom #5) | EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS
post image

Thinking of #GamingintheLitWorld, I recalled Gahan of Gathol from the Chessmen of Mars. He was captured & forced to play Jetan (Martian chess) with a twist: he & his men were the pieces in a fight to the death. Chessmen is one of the better Barsoom books, but my copy has an #uglycover! Jetan made me think of wizard chess from HP & quidditch, of course! I always thought it would be cool to see McGonagall play - just imagine it! #OctPhotoChallenge

Texreader She'd be awesome! 8y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa I kind of love your weird cover! 8y

#octphotochallenge Day 13 I wasn't sure I would enjoy this graphic novel about gaming when I picked it up, but I absolutely did. #gaminginthelitworld

LibrarianRyan I liked it as well. I thought it did a good job of explaining the "dark" side of gaming. 8y
Gezemice That is a great picture! Looks like a fun one! 8y

#gaminginthelitworld #octphotochallenge so I grew up with an old Atari. I remember getting our first Nintendo. My aunt bought them as combined bday gifts for bro and me. And it was fun. But you never forget Atari with its games like PAC-man and Qbert.

#gaminginthelitworld I love how Williams plays with concepts of identity and representation in cyberspace, especially cyber gaming. In rpgs, there's a character, and then there's their avatar, and that adds a nice dimension - I particularly love Sam! Photo from the coverart for Book 2 in the series. #octphotochallenge

I'm pretty sure there were days as a child where all I did was play The Little Mermaid on my Nintendo! #octphotochallenge #gaminginthelitworld

Armada: A Novel | Ernest Cline
post image

I'm a day late so I'm doing both of the #octphotochallenge categories today. For #gaminginthelitworld I chose Armada. This is a book I won via an online contest through the publisher. I didn't think it was as good as Ready Player One, and almost seemed too similar to Ender's Game. The second book, Name of the Wind, is on my TBR list, but fits the #scifi / #fantasy requirement.

The husband really came through with lots of #gaminginthelitworld books. Take your pick! Between us we can almost cover all the photo challenge topics. #octphotochallenge

LibrarianRyan I love that you get him in on the fun. 8y
Texreader @LibrarianRyan He's on Litsy but he's a rebellious sort and won't do anything on it. But he's awesome when I ask him for help. He's a huge booklover; we built him his own library! He'll come with a huge stack of books whenever I tell him I'm at a loss on a challenge. And he loves to hear what other folks have posted for challenges. He's a hoot! 8y

Scott Pilgrim | Bryan Lee OMalley

I had no idea what to do for #GamingInTheLitWorld but my roommate said that Scott Pilgrim is also a video game, so I'm going with it. #OctPhotoChallenge

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I agree, some of these are hard! 8y
